Arabia Weddings:
"Love is Paradise" Wedding Photo Shoot

In collaboration with Dubai’s most creative wedding vendors, Jive Events planned this tropical-inspired styled photo shoot using vibrant colors and striking tropical florals to create one of a kind wedding theme.
The talented Liz from JVR Photography captured this wedding photo shoot beautifully with all its amazing details.
The use of flowers such as Protea, Dendrobium Orchids and Limonium, with lots of greens and foliage, such as Eureka leaves, Ruscus and Eucalyptus, as well as, natural elements such as tropical fruits gave a beautiful feel and the perfect look for this shoot. The gardens at the venue, Park Hyatt Dubai, were an ideal match as it worked well with the theme and brought it to life.
The color scheme consisted of a mix of tropical greens, pop of red, plum and orange with accents of gold. The exotic details and colors were reflected in the choice of furniture, beautifully designed stationary & signs, the gorgeous cake, as well as, the delicately chosen tabletops, accessories and cutleries.
As for the model, she was a vision of beauty in this stunning silk chiffon dress (The Bridal Showroom), silver crown and gorgeous hair and makeup to complete her simple look.
Definitely, love is paradise!Read more

MyList.ae's Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas

It’s amazing how fast time flies once you have planned your wedding and enjoyed a perfect day. If you’re anything like us, your first, then second, anniversary will be approaching in seemingly no time at all. Wedding anniversaries can be tricky occasions for which to buy a gift for your other half, but, as you may know, there is a tradition that you can follow to make deciding what to buy a little easier.
Twenty-fifth and fiftieth wedding anniversaries were actually first celebrated during the Roman Empire, and as time as gone on, each year of marriage has been associated with a certain material. Although this can differ according to UK and US customs, there are similarities and overlaps between the two.
With this in mind, we contacted our vendors MyList.ae, and asked them for their top picks for gifts to get your loved one during the first ten years of marriage. We hope that this will help inspire you, whether you are celebrating your first or tenth anniversary. Here’s to many more happy years ahead…enjoy!Read more

MYLOVELYWEDDING: 1st online gift registry UAE

Big warm welcome to My List, which is the first online multi-brand gift registry in the UAE.
As a bride-to-be I had started thinking about what we would like to receive as wedding gifts. It’s one of those awkward topics that most brides don’t really want to talk about, but secretly love. I know lots of people who have asked for donations towards a honeymoon, which is awesome and it’s nice because you can donate as much as you like or as little as you like. After discovering My List, we knew this was exactly what we wanted as it’s stress free, super easy and it’s online. Most of our guests are flying in from all over the world and I can’t imagine they want the hassle of going to a mall to pick up a gift as soon as they land, or carrying the extra weight in there suitcase!
